Unless the two linux distributions use the same desktop, you should
also have two separate home partitions, otherwise desktop and
application settings may conflict and cause crashes. I'm not sure it
is wise to keep both distributions in a single /boot . If I were to do
this, I would create two complete linux partition sets plus a separate
partition called say userdata. In the userdata partition you can keep
all data you want accessible from both distributions, and you can
symlink it to a directory in your $HOME directory in each
distribution.

Just my 2 cents,

Peter
